Book excerpt: "Into The Dragon's Jaws" details the exciting adventures and experiences of a young Canadian Red Cross combat casualty surgeon who volunteered to assist Vietnamese-war wounded following the Tet Offensive in South Vietnam in 1968. The intensity and drama of this book are enhanced by many photographs illustrating surgical care in oft-times dangerous and volatile circumstances. Dr. Willard describes his role as a trauma surgeon candidly. Some stories are heartwarming, others heartbreaking. Such is the pathos of war. You will come away with an intimate perspective of the Vietnam War, as seen through his eyes at the height of the conflict.
